Windows 7: Homegroups and Libraries

tofu

Is it possible to have Windows 7 automatically sync your libraries with the libraries of another computer in the homegroup? I want to keep documents on both my laptop and my netbook.

You could use Windows Live Sync
http://sync.live.com/

Cool, thanks.

Too bad there's no way to exclude subfolders though

Take a look at Windows Live Mesh -> https://www.mesh.com/welcome/default.aspx

I've only just started playing with it, but so far it looks generally pretty sweet.

Live Sync is pretty cool, is there concern for security with Live Mesh? I am hesitant to store all of my documents online.

I suppose it should be as secure as your Live ID.

While you might not want to store anything super sensitive there, I've been storing a whole lot of stuff in Google Docs and the Office equivalent for ages now. I haven't had or heard of any trouble.
